Saucon Valley Senior High School

School board qualifications should be higher. These people only need to be a resident of 1 year and to be at least 18 years of age. That's it! They do not listen. They fate of our children is placed in their hands! Reread their qualifications.They disrespect the tax payer by dismissing your concerns in hopes that you will just go away. They are a mess!! Go to a meeting with a serious problem...you will leave ill.

I love this school. Im a senior and i came to this school bak in 5th grade. Yes it was somewhat hard to fit in but now everybody gets along in the highschool. The teachers are amazing and so is our curriculum. Its a little private school but has plenty of honors and AP courses. Heavy on sports and one of the top schools in wrestling (:

Alot of people say that adapting to this school is hard and very unexcepting. Well I just have to remind those people that the students of this school have been here since 1st grade together and the cliques have been formed a long time ago. This is because unlike the rest of schools we did not seperate from one another, instead we had to be kept with the same people for 8 years. Makiing the bonds between certian people extremely strong. The school is definetly strong in acidemics however, it sometimes is to well developed. By that i mean tests are given frequently. But even with all these flaws it is still my school and I accept it for what it is.

As a student at saucon valley high school i very much dislike it. i love to have school spirit but i dont find anything good about our school. we do have a good education i guess but the atmosphere is really bad. its extremely cliquey and the girls are 'not so nice'. most people are not acccepted into the social trends and when you are not most people tend to treat you badly

Still a very cliqey school. Tough to break into if you are new. Constantly being evaluated as to whether or not you 'belong' even if you are not new. Academics OK but grades inflated.

Our son graduated from Saucon in 2006. We moved into the region when he entered 9th grade, coming from a very small middle school. We liked the size of Saucon, not too big. It allowed him to get personal academic attention and to be involved in a lot of extra curricular activities. The school has an economically diverse student body and a great sense of community. Our son really did well there. He was accepted at his first choice college so we feel like we made the right decision.

Saucon is a good academic school as well as athletics. It also has a strong arts program. It's a good school to get involved in.

I am currently attending Saucon Valley High School. I am a freshmen and was scared to come to high school at the fear of being rejected by upperclassmen. The is not the case. I am involved in sports and other activities and seem very welcome at Saucon. And though we are not diverse, we still accept those who are.

As a former student of Saucon Valley and a parent now myself, I can tell you that if you are looking for a pleasant and inviting school for your children, this is not the place. This school is great academic wise, but as the parent before me said, neither the teachers or students are that nice. Race and culture does play some part in the overall poor atmosphere, but it is surely not just the minorities that are uncomfortable. Unless your child will be driving a BMW or equivilant they too will probably agree that Saucon Valley is not the place for them.
